About the role
Periodic Labs is scaling fast, and the systems, decisions, and operations that underpin our growth need to scale with us. As a Business Operations Associate, you'll work at the center of the company - supporting our leadership team, driving cross-functional initiatives, and solving problems that don't yet have playbooks. You'll work directly with our founders and senior leadership across strategy, planning, finance, and operations. This is a role for someone who is extraordinarily high agency, learns at an uncommon pace, and brings genuine intellectual curiosity to the work. A background in physics or quantitative science is a strong signal - not because the work is technical in the traditional sense, but because the mindset it develops is exactly what we're looking for: comfort with ambiguity, rigorous first-principles thinking, and the ability to model complex systems. You'll grow quickly here, take on real ownership early, and have a front-row seat to building a company at the frontier of AI and physical science.
